Hi all,
I have been fighting since last october with providers to make them believe my symptoms were not due to anxiety or my hormones or due to having 3 young children and being a full time worker. They have blamed anxiety, depression and adhd. They added and increased all types of medications before making me the favor of accepting to request my ferritine level IN FEBRUARY!
Colonoscopy done end of March and same day was told i have Crohn's and will be prescribed Skyrizi.
Please note that I have not had the pleasure to see the gastro since the colonoscopy and no availabilities prior to end of May. However, was contacted by Abbvie Care and they will be providing 2 perfusions of compassion while awaiting my insurance answer.
Welcome to Quebec where you do not have access to your results online, have to start a treatment without even knowing why they are jumping to biological directly, cannot get any answers on what to do now with your life but were nicely given a QR code that brings you to a website on Crohn. OH and you know they removed multiple nodules but don't know how many nor got the biopsies results.
I am 32 and was able to understand all the weird symptoms i was having as far back as 11years ago.
I was called to get my first perfusion tomorrow but what if my insurance refuses because i have not tried anything else prior? Don't know where to start with food, or how to increase my ferritin or how to even stop sleeping 16h a day. And what about my kiddos? they all seem to have gut issues Am i becoming hypochondriac or just overwhelmed and left alone to research?
Thank you for reading my rant
